Features: The series textbook "University Music—Appreciation and Practice" is designed based on the current musical foundation of college students, in accordance with the higher education teaching framework of the Ministry of Education, and is aimed at music elective courses for non-music majors in universities. It combines Chinese folk music and traditional culture with the world's advanced Orff music teaching system, emphasizing the participation aspect of music learning and integrating teacher-student interaction throughout the teaching process. This approach aims to enliven the music elective classrooms for non-music majors, while more extensively employing special methods of music education to cultivate students' interest in learning, refine their character, inspire their enthusiasm for positive and healthy thinking, and ultimately enhance their comprehensive cultural literacy.
Each volume of the systematic textbook "University Music—Appreciation and Practice" has relative independence and systematic content. Each volume consists of two parts: theory and practice, with the core purpose of this textbook being to engage students in musical activities. This is also the philosophy and concept of Orff music education that we have adopted. We know that music is a humanistic art, as it originates from people themselves. Therefore, music teaching should follow the same principle: first, one must do it oneself, and in the process of doing, one loves, feels, appreciates, and learns music.
